Surgical Treatment

Approach to treating patients

Thank you for selecting Capital Orthopaedic Specialists for your orthopaedic care. Your health is important to us. Our mission is to provide you with high quality orthopaedic care with personalized attention in a relaxed, comfortable setting. All of our orthopaedic surgeons have competed extensive training following medical school, including one year of internship and at least four years of orthopaedic residency training. In addition, they must pass a series of examinations to become Board-certified in the specialty of orthopaedic surgery. Several of our surgeons have subspecialty, fellowship training in spine, total joint replacement, hand surgery and sports medicine. Each year, our surgeons continue their training through post-graduate, continuing medical educational programs. Our physicians are a team and provide each other with valuable consulting and other support to help treat your problem. If you require attention when your surgeon is not available, the physician on call will respond and ensure that you receive prompt, courteous attention.
